f0e4e02110 hier(7): remove text describing /usr/src layout
It poses a maintenance burden, since much of the information is
duplicated in the src tree's README.md file. Readers who are interested
enough in learning about the structure of the src tree can download it,
or browse the README online. Have hier(7) just point them there instead.

d1087fe843 Create sys/README.md
Add this primarily to document the sys/ subdirectories of the source tree.

This is a straight copy from the contents of hier(7). Improvements will
follow in other changes.

0eba55c34b README: add generic notes about GENERIC and NOTES
Inform new users what GENERIC and NOTES are. These are useful for people
perusing the tree without a great deal of specific fbsd knowledge.
See discussion of r334073 for further motivation.

7c0631790c README: Reduce the textdump; describe the project
Rework the README to make it a little easier for new users. This is the
first file many will see when persuing the FreeBSD source code so

- remove some of the text describes how to build. This is better covered
in the linked documentation.
- add a small blurb for what FreeBSD is. Some users might find this
document through features such as github search so they may not even
know what the project is

generally, gear this file for the new, accidental, or casual user rather
than towards someone seeking fuller documentation.

ee9ffb4ff9 Remove hard line breaks from README.md
This is rendered with variable-width formatting and a proportional font,
so hard line breaks before 80 cols are undesired.
